Presses: Hybrid Electric Linear Actuator for Die Cut Press Operation on Blister Packaging Machine Meeting Duty Cycle Requirements

A consumer products packaging machine builder wanted to remove hydraulic cylinder actuators on their blister packaging machine, die-cutting press with a servo actuator that would operate more cleanly, be more energy efficient, and provide higher-precision die-cuts. They ruled out electro-mechanical actuators due to the shock loads in the die-cut station.

“Kyntronics worked with our engineers to develop an actuator that fits our space and duty cycle requirements. The closed-loop system not only gives us the power we need for rigid material cutting, but the servo control also provides for accurate speed and acceleration control. Force feedback allows us to monitor die sharpness as well as provide data for FDA validation to our customers. We see a great future using these actuators on all our die-cut platforms.”
